Hi All.
I have a Telscan Web Server running on my home network monitoring various rooms within my home.
I access it via the web by using port forwarding via a DYNDNS web address to my interneal network address.
However everytime I access the page via my M5000 and my Dads HTC Tytn we both get the same error message that versions higher than 5.5 for IE need to be installed.
Any ideas how to get this working on my phone.
Below is a link to Seimens sample test site
http://83.13.75.186/
This gives exactly the same errors.
However I have tried using Netfront, Opera and PIE Plus none of which have helped despite various configuration changes including telling the software to pretend to be desktop IE versions.
Any ideas appriciated.

Hello,
I was working on adding some additional functionality to the IM client I got from here code.google.com/p/simple-android-instant-messaging-application/. Can anyone help me out with the issues I am facing?
Note: I am using emulator and not the original phone
Issue #1
I cannot connect to Google chat to retrieve the contact list or begin chat. Same issue is with yahoo and other clients. I tried using simple IM but the issue is that It says cannot establish a secure connection. I tried out HTTPS sites in my browser and I cannot access them. I can only access normal sites. I am behind a proxy and I have set the proxy in the phone settings. Only normal sites are accessible.
Any help?
Hey guys,
At my school the students have access to an open WiFi network. The internet connection is routed through a local proxy, and when we first open the web browser we are presented with an authentication page where we input username and password. Using Firefox, Chrome, or any other browser on a regular computer, this works just fine.
On my Hero however, something prevents it from working correctly. I get the authentication screen, input my username and password, I click Login, but from here nothing seems to work.
The proxy spits out a message saying something like "authentication successful, logging you on to the network", but then it says something about a DNS timeout, and that I have to restart my browser to gain internet access.
Obviously, that doesn't work. I tried once to load google.com, using its IP and it worked I think (given that the browser didn't load it from the cache). I guess the problem somehow relates to the way Android handles DNS.
My Hero is not rooted, and for various reasons I'm not planning to do it either. Running latest official ROM.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, as IT on my school doesn't seem to actually know anything about the authentication process.
I also have problem with secure login but in my case I can't load the securelogin page where I need to enter the user name and password.
Non android phone don't see this problem and also I don't have this problem with my android at my home with open WIFI.
I am using HTC Hero G3 with official android 1.5.
Hi, has anyone been able to make this work?
I'm also having the same experience but with my x10mp.
the browser login page is not displaying so i'm unable to use the wifi.
shameless self bump.
i have already tried 2 apps (Open Wifi Login and Browser Wifi Login) that should have solved this but did not.
can anybody help with this issue?
I am staying in a hotel for a few days. The hotel has a wifi network that can be accessed with a userid and password through a page that opens with a browser. Entered that and can browse anywhere I want. Wifi icon in lower right corner of my Acer is at about 50% strength and blue. My Gmail app will not download email, however, and when I check My Apps in the market app it says there is a network error. Clearly, while I can access the web I can not access my Google account through the native android Google apps. I don't think it is authenticating my Google account. Any ideas or suggestions?

Although I don't know for sure as I have never tried, it might be something similar to some people who were able to tether to their cellphones with an app called "pdanet". Basically they were only able to use the browser. I'm not 100% on this as it is just a hunch, but it would seem that the browser and all other network services communicate in different ways. For example, the browser communicates in http which requires authentication (user name and password to browse) but since the market and possibly the gmail app do not communicate via HTTP (Gmail is likely IMAP) they cannot authenticate and therefore cannot communicate with your network. You can likely still use the market and gmail through your browser though.
Without knowing the specifics, maybe the hotel wifi only allows port 80, the default for web sites.
The network is weird at best. They had issues this morning that shut everything down. When it came back up the Gmail (but not Market) app worked but this evening neither works. I can access gmail through the browser. It is irritating but not a huge problem. Thanks for the input.

The wifi at my university either prompts devices for a log in or redirects the browser to a log in page to fully access the wifi. I cannot for the life of me, get my nexus 7 to fully connect. No prompts and chrome will not redirect. Any help would be appreciated!!
Typically on my laptop or other tablets in my University, whenever I connect to the Wi-Fi either a pop-up prompt appears where I can enter my log in info or I go on to my browser (also chrome) and enter a website liek facebook or yahoo and it will redirect to the University's Wifi page and I can log in from there.
My Nexus 7 doesn't have a pop-up prompt when I connect to the wifi nor does the Chrome redirect. Any tips?
That's weird. I connected to the harvard medical school network at where I work and when I tried going to a web page (espn), the redirect occurred and I could sign in. Don't know why it isn't working for you

I have no idea why, I'm connected to Cornell Medical School wifi as well, and typically i'd have to type in my log in and my password when Chrome redirects me but it's not redirecting. It keeps saying This Webpage is Not Available because the DNS Look up failed."
I get an error on the bottom of Chrome stating: "Error 105 (net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED): Unable to resole the server's DNS address."
Trying using Firefox to authenticate instead. Once you do Chrome will work fine (just not for the authentication part).
Quick idea:
At Eastern Washington University there's an open access AP and a secure AP. When you use open, you are redirected to a student sign on page.
When you use secure, there is no page redirect, as you login using some fancy WiFi security protocol with the same user/pass combo from open. (Tablet remembers network auth and auto-reconnects when in range with no redirects) Maybe just check to see if you have that available?
Also, try forgetting/disconnecting from your network so it doesn't reconnect; then manually reconnect to it. This would hopefully flush any DNS configuration your tablet may have erroneously stored.

Thanks everyone, for suggesting the use of other browsers such as Opera to help me redirect. However, I downloaded Opera and Dolphin browser (couldn't find Firefox for some reason) and both of them will not redirect me to the log in page. But my iPhone is able to connect. Any tips? Any help would be appreciated!! (Sorry this is my first Android device)
Can someone please solve this issue? Or at least give an explanation why the nexus 7 has issues with certain open networks?
If you're going to an encrypted (https) page, you won't redirect. Try going to www.google.com instead of your homepage (gmail can be set to https).
Its not encrypted. Just a standard login. I really have no clue what is going on. I tried setting a static IP and using google's DNS as well as open DNS which helped a bit (I occasionally get th elogin screen now, but it doesn't do anything for me).
Has anyone ever solved this issue?
Mine redirects just fine. I have to select the network in the WiFi settings, and then open the browser, though.

Not sure from your answer if you understood me. If the page you're trying to get redirected FROM is HTTPS, it won't redirect. Navigate to google.com and see if you redirect (since that's never https).
That page is not https. It is standard HTTP.
Before I wouldn't even get that page. Now I reliably get that page (the authentication/acceptance of policy page) since I changed the DNS settings for open DNS (another site recommended using google's DNS or using open DNS). However after I hit accept, it doesn't do anything and just times out after 5 mins or so.
This should work
idk if I'm late in answering this but next time you log in from any device look for the router number and type that in the web browser on the device it isn't connecting on and that should redirect you
Is there any hope? Android is just impossible when it comes to wifi. Sometimes it brings up the login page. But if it doesn't bring up the login page, you will never get connected.
Here's a sample experience.
I'm at a coffee shop trying to connect my oneplus one, which has cyanogen12.0-yng1tas17l
Some things I tried: I opened wpa_supplicant.conf with a text editor and deleted this coffee shop's network. I tried to connect using the app "wifi browser login." I went to settings--modify network--advanced options--ip settings to find the gateway, ip address and dns of the coffee shop, and tried typing them into the browser. Nothing works.
This failure to load the login page is a problem that affects android in general, not just the oneplus one or cyanogen. I have problems with the nexus 7 sometimes too. I've been searching for a solution for years. The silence is deafening.
